This as meant to be a reply to Eli's last, but I dropped that mail somehow.
With current trunk (115999) and one line of instrumebtation added,
this is what I see doing an in-place build:
dirstate='.bzr/checkout/dirstate'; \
vcswitness='$(srcdir)/../'$dirstate; \
[ -r "./$dirstate" ] || vcswitness=''; \
cd src || exit; \
boot=bootstrap-emacs; \
[ ! -x "$boot" ] || boot=''; \
echo "VCSWITNESS: $vcswitness";\
make all \
CC='gcc -std=gnu99' CFLAGS='-g3 -O2' CPPFLAGS='' \
LDFLAGS='' MAKE='make' BOOTSTRAPEMACS="$boot" \
VCSWITNESS="$vcswitness"
VCSWITNESS: $(srcdir)/../.bzr/checkout/dirstate
While this is nonempty, it's not going to work either.
